Seeing Eva, Charlene was shocked, "Why... Why are you here? "
"Charlene Chen, let me tell you. As long as I'm here, you can't easily pass the test." Eva snorted and walked out of the elevator.
Charlene was so angry that she stomped her feet and rushed to find her father for a solution.
Before the competition started, the organizers held a cocktail party, inviting all the judges, investors and sponsor to attend. But before that, Bald Chen had invited all the judges except Eva.
"All the contestants of this competition are with excellent comprehensive qualities. It will be a fierce contest," an investor said with a smile.
Others echoed.
Eva sneered in her heart, 'It is not a fierce contest between them, but between you!' These old lechers didn't come here to select the best performer, but to select their mistress.
Bald Chen glared at Eva in the distance. He had never expected that this woman would turn the tables one day.
"Every dog has its day. She is not only famous, but also going to marry a rich man. Even King Jim has a close relationship with her," a bearded investor stood beside him and said.
"What a stroke of luck!" Bald Chen gritted his teeth in anger.
"You have to be careful. She is an unbearable Buddha now. If she doesn't come to settle accounts with you, you should pray," the bearded man said as he patted his shoulder sympathetically and left. At the beginning, he was also annoyed by Eva, but he was only splashed a glass of wine by her. He didn't care too much. He was really glad that he was magnanimous back then.
Eva took a glass of cocktail from the waiter's plate and walked to Jim. "Yesterday, I reviewed the information of the twenty participants in the pageant again and decided to eliminate Charlene Chen in the first round. Do you want to support me?"
"What's the benefit of supporting you?" Jim smiled wickedly.
"Do you need to be so commercial? You need to pay attention to benefits in everything?" Eva rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm a businessman." Jim threw up his hands and looked like he was threatening and tempting.
"If I negotiate with a big capitalist, I will definitely suffer losses. I'd better give up." Eva curled her lips.
A boring woman! Jim was a little unhappy. He reached out his big hand and tweaked her ear, "How about this? I'm going to sail tomorrow. If you are willing to be my yacht waitress for the whole day, I'll help you avenge for your private grudge."
A waitress? How could he think of that! Eva thought to herself. But when she thought of the thrill of revenge that had eliminated Charlene Chen in the first round, she wavered. It was really good!
After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, deal!"
Jim smiled and clinked his glass with hers. Tomorrow would be an interesting day.
Eva took a gulp of wine and her eyes wandered to the darkest corner of the banquet hall.
There seemed to be a tall figure standing there. It was too dark to see the face clearly, and she could only vaguely feel that she was like a woman.
The laser light in the banquet hall slowly swept over her, and a circle of light was cast on her face, which also made her face clear.
Eva twitched violently, and a chill quickly passed through her head from the soles of her feet.
Although she had only seen the photo of that face, it was still fresh in her memory.
Jim noticed her abnormality. Her eyes widened, filled with horror!
"Heaven pepper? What are you looking at? Are you seeing a ghost?" he asked in a hurry.
She really saw a ghost!
"There..." Eva shivered and pointed at the dark corner.
The laser light moved away, and it became dark again. When the circle of light swept over again, the shadow had disappeared.
Jim saw nothing.
"What's there?" he asked in confusion.
"No... Nothing. My eyes are blurred. " Eva put down the glass, held her arm and rubbed it, rubbing away the erected hair root. Illusion, it must be an illusion!
"Are you crazy because of the shooting of the horror movie?" Jim teased.
"Probably, I'm afraid of ghosts the most." Eva murmured to herself in a very low voice, but Jim still heard it because of his acute hearing.
He sneered, "It turns out that Bold Fang fears three kind of things. Hunger, height, and ghosts."
Eva gave him a ferocious stare and said, "It's not strange. Everyone has his or her own fear."
When she was a child, her mother was busy and often fostered her in grandma Wang's house next door. Grandma Wang was a godlike person. She had been expelling ghosts and watching the Fengshui for others all day long. And she often told terrible ghost stories. As time went by, she became particularly afraid of ghosts. She would never go to the places where ghosts often appeared as grandma Wang said.
"Since you are afraid of ghosts, why didn't Janet's ghost talks scared you before?" Jim said with a smile.
"I'm afraid of a real ghost, not the ghost made up by a psycho," Eva said.
"Is there a real ghost in the world?" Jim sneered.
"It doesn't seem to have." Eva smiled awkwardly. Although she knew that ghosts were illusory and did not exist, the fear that had been generated in her sub-consciousness since childhood was indelible.
After returning to her room, she poured a glass of milk and drank it in front of the window. She was used to drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.
Her room was on the fifth floor, which was not very high, and she could clearly see the scenery below.
